What to do if i am having an open lung biopsy n the 26th?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Various approaches: A lung biopsy if most often performed for a well defined lesion. At your age the chance of malignancy is slight. Biopsy if necessary can be done transbronchial and if more needed, a thorascopic biopsy without opening the chest can be performed.
